Kaylee's Graduation

Last night we got to celebrate Kaylee's preschool graduation. We went out to eat at Red Lobster (Noah says Red Monster's). We then went over to her school and got to listen to some songs, watch an aweome slide show of the kids throughout the year, and eat some yummy graduation cake. Daphne got to help by passing out the programs as people came in. I don't think that I've ever said where Kaylee goes to school because I didn't want it to be public information, but her and Daphne both went to Levy Christian Kindergarten. It is a wonderful school! Tammy Beck and Carolyn Burt (our preacher's wife) are the two main teachers. It is a Montessori school so the kids do a lot of independant work and do it at their own pace. Kaylee has learned to read, add, subtract, some German, and many other things this year. The school also teaches practical life lessons such as using tweezers, matching lids, matching socks, using a screwdriver, etc. I have been very impressed with the school both last year and this year and I plan on sending Noah there in the next few years. Kaylee was really sad about having to say goodbye to some good friends, but she's also really excited to get to go to kindergarten in the fall. One good thing is that at least four kids from her preschool will go to the same elementary school.

Tonight we're going to Riverfest to see Trout Fishing in America and the B-52's. Then tomorrow we head up to Bradford to spend the day at Micah's parents' house.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Baby News

Just wanted to show off pictures of our baby....girl! That's right. No baby brother for Noah. Someone said that he's either going to be a great husband or never want to get married! The kids and I have a name picked out, but Micah's not on board with it yet. However, he has yet to offer any suggestions of his own.

Everything's going good with the pregnancy. I'm still really, really tired and still sick most days, but hopefully that will be gone soon. The house is a wreck, but I just can't seem to pull myself off the couch to do anything about it.

Well, enough with the whining. We've still been busy, busy, busy. Two weekends ago we went to Camp Wyldewood for a retreat with some other people from our church. We had so much fun that we really didn't want to come home. The weather was perfect. We got a little bit of rain, but it kept it from getting too hot. We had devos throughout the weekend, played basketball and four-square, rode 4-wheelers and scooters, played games until 2 in the morning and did a lot of fishing.

We also had a Ladies' Sock Hop last Friday night at our church. My friend Angela and I were in charge of it. It was a lot of work, but everything came together and everyone had a lot of fun! We had about 40 ladies come. Many of them were dressed up in 50's attire. We made hula-hoops, had a hula-hoop contest, ate hamburgers, had a waitress relay, played "Guess that Song" and finished the night off with Coke floats and a really good devotional.

I am without kids or a husband this weekend so that probably explains why I have time to sit down and write this post. It's been nice. I've watched a ton of TV today and also gotten a few things done around the house. I will have to admit that I miss them though. The house just seems empty without them. However, the quiet is nice. I guess this is my Mother's Day gift. And I must say that it's a nice one!

I hope that all you mother's have a wonderful day tomorrow. Maybe you'll get to relax with or without your kids like I'm doing!
